[QUOTE="omit, post: 1362864, member: 236085"] Using outlook on a PC at work, I've really started to miss a function in mail: in outlook, when sorting messages alphabetically by either 'from' or 'to', and then typing 'm', this will automatically take you to names starting with m; typing 'mo' will take you to [I]mo[/I]nica, [I]mo[/I]ritz or similar, which I have come to find very useful. Mail seems to unfortunately not work in this way. When sorting by 'from', for example, and then typing 'n', it won't take you to [I]n[/I]atasha, but it will take you to a message which has a subject starting with n. not very useful at all to me. So I always end up scrolling down to the relevant name, which is annoying, when in outlook just typing 'nat' would take me very quickly to [I]nat[/I]asha. Any ideas? Thanks. using mail 3.6 on OS X 10.5.8 [/QUOTE]
